6 Logical Setup

6.1 Set up IPv4 and IPv6 interfaces

This selection lets you set the IP addresses and subnet masks/prefix lengths for the host and
network side interfaces. This will allow you access to the webGUI. You must supply an IPv4
address and subnet mask for the host-side interface. You may also supply an IPv4 address/subnet
mask and an IPv6 address/prefix length for the network-side interface. Note that these network-
side addresses are for the management interface on the Transformer, not the proxy addresses for
the legacy IPv4 device. You will need to use the webGUI to enter the proxy addresses.
We recommend using an IP address from the RFC1918 private address space for the host-side
interface, since it’s not visible to the network side of the Transformer. There are three private
ranges:

Start

End

10.0.0.0

10.255.255.255

172.16.0.0

172.31.255.255

192.168.0.0

192.168.255.255

To configure the Transformer’s interface, go to the Console main menu and select item 1- Set up
IPv4 and IPv6 interfaces. In the example below, we set the host-side interface address to
192.168.1.1 and accept the default subnet mask length of 24. Note that each prompt shows the
current or default value in parentheses. To accept the default value, simply press ENTER.
Similarly, we set the network-side IPv6 and IPv4 addresses to 2007::50 and 135.47.8.16
respectively.

IPv4 address for host-side interface (172.31.0.1): 192.168.1.1
IPv4 subnet mask length for host-side interface (24):
IPv6 address for network-side interface, or "none" (none): 2007::50
IPv6 prefix length for 2007::50 (64):
IPv4 address for network-side interface, or "none" (none): 135.47.8.16
IPv4 subnet mask length for IPv6 LAN interface (16): 24

Please wait...
You can now access the webGUI by opening any of the following URLs
in your browser:

http://192.168.1.1/
http://[2007::50]/
http://135.47.8.16/

*** NOTE ***
You must reboot before these changes take effect.

Press ENTER to continue.
